Waterless Coolant question
Having an air cooled 911 means I've never really considered my coolant. In other older cars, many classics, enthusiasts have moved to a waterless coolant to avoid corrosion. Anyone here use it? Any feedback?
Leno uses it, as do many classic collections. Coolant requirements in a 911TT are likely more demanding than many other cars. Not sure if I trust it, but would like to hear any opinions.

I spoke to the rep for that waterless coolant.he said the problem would be the auxiliary coolant pump. It would have a difficult time moving the product. The pump I am referring to is in the engine compartment and runs on 12 volts. He said not made for your type car. Maybe they changed the product. He also said they tried it on an Audi which uses almost the exact pump. He told me it was like syrup when cold. Verify and ask again I am using 70/30 mix. I live in Florida and it never gets below freezing. Curious if they have changed the formula.

Evans coolant becomes very thick and heavy when cold. I know because we tried them years ago in our trucks. I also cannot recall if it has the appropriate properties to run extended life. Do not use it. What problem are you trying to solve?

I wanted to explore it since unchanged coolant in other classics I own can lead to corrosion. Never had the concern with older 911s and thought I'd see the collective wisdom on the topic.
I appreciate the responses.
